By folding, Lowes and Kayak become complicit in FFA's blackmail. The FFA claims are bogus and are no different than the rascist claims of those before us: not unlike the descrimination faced by my Irish forebears in Boston. No, the Irish were *not* all thieves and insurgents. Those who defend this folding in the name of "free enterprise" come across as tools of the FFA. If you saw how this bigoted, ignorant group acts in Florida you'd feel shame.

The problem with allowing your business to be blackmailed by religious fanatics is that they don't stop and they don't (to put it mildly) have your business interests at heart. Also, I'm pretty sure that the people involved with the Florida Family Association don't use Kayak.com or shop at Lowes very often, so attempting to placate them is as stupid as it is cowardly.

Programs like this pose a huge hazard for advertisers, because people will always question their motives for deciding NOT to advertise if they once did. It proves that it is not a good business decision to advertise on shows like this. All companies have the freedom to decide where to spend their advertising budgets, and should not be questioned.

Where does it say in our constitution a company MUST keep their advertisments in TV or other sites if they do not want too. It is called freedom of speech and choice, remember you know the occupyers trashed places to get that point across and trespassing to do it. How many times have companies been demanded to withdraw, because a program offended some group and the free speech crowd came out to defend the right to be obscene also. This is still a free country, I think.
